Duration Options: Half Day or Full Day

We offer half-day and full-day private surfing experiences:

  • Half Day (1x surf session): A single extended surf session (approximately 2 hours in the water). This is perfect if you want an light experience with some surfing and photos and a quiet place to hang out in either the morning or afternoon. Even in one session surfing, we typically get first-timers safely up and riding waves by the end of the session! You’ll have plenty of time to learn the basics to capture some epic moments with our photographer, then warm up and relax afterwards.

  • Full Day (2x surf sessions): Two separate surf sessions (e.g. one in the morning, one after lunch) for a total immersion in the surf and beach lifestyle. Between sessions, you can take a break to rest and enjoy the beach, or we can go grab lunch at a good spot. A full day allows you to explore multiple surf spots or set up at one for the day or work on progressing your technique with personalised feedback in the second session. By spreading the surfing across the day, you’ll solidify your skills – what you learned in the morning, you can practice and perfect in the afternoon.

Both options are completely private for your group and totally flexible – we tailor the schedule to your preferences (for instance, an early morning session for calmer conditions, or an evening surf if you prefer). Our goal is to maximise your fun and experience in the time you have, without rushing.

Who is this for?

This private surfing experience is designed for those who value exclusivity, convenience, and personalisation. It’s an ideal adventure for:

  • Families with kids: Enjoy a fun, safe experience together. Our team are great with all ages, and a private setting means your children get patient one-on-one guidance in a controlled environment. No competing with a big group – the lesson moves at your family’s pace.

  • Busy professionals & business owners: If you’re looking to escape the city hustle, this is a perfect luxury day out. We handle all the logistics (from equipment to finding waves), so you can simply arrive and unwind in nature. It’s an invigorating way to de-stress and recharge, all arranged around your schedule.

  • VIPs and discerning travellers: For those accustomed to private tours and first-class experiences, why not add surfing to your list? This isn’t a generic surf school lesson – it’s a high-end, bespoke experience. You’ll have a fully qualified lifeguard - for a guide and coach devoted entirely to you, and the itinerary is flexible to meet your desires. It’s surfing on your own terms, with all the trimmings (luxury transport, photographer, etc.) to make it special.

  • Small corporate or incentive groups: Planning a team-building retreat or client outing? A private surf day is a memorable way to bond outside the office. Cornwall’s beautiful beaches provide an inspiring backdrop for camaraderie. We can accommodate small corporate groups, tailoring the coaching to be fun and inclusive for all fitness levels. (As luxury tour experts note, bespoke surf trips can be arranged for everyone from honeymoon couples to corporate incentive groups

What is included?

  • You’ll be taught by our experienced, surf coach, dedicated solely to you. They’ll start by meeting you on arrival. During the session, they give hands-on guidance (helping you catch waves and surf etc.) and feedback tailored to each person. . Your safety is our top priority: our team are lifeguard-trained and will be right there beside you in the water, ensuring a safe and fun experience for everyone.

  • You won’t need to bring a thing (except a swimsuit). Surfboards, wetsuits in all sizes, and other gear (like rash vests, leashes, and even boots/gloves if the water is chilly) are all included in the package. We use high-quality boards suited to your ability – whether foamies for beginners or performance boards for experience surfers – and warm, comfortable wetsuits to keep you cozy in the sea. By having the right equipment ready for you, we take the hassle out – no renting, no transporting gear. Just show up and we’ll outfit you head-to-toe for surfing.

  • As mentioned, we arrange the lesson location and timing to suit you. We keep an eye on surf forecasts and local conditions to pick the optimal beach for your session (considering waves, tides, and wind to match your skill level). Being mobile, we might suggest a hidden gem beach away from the crowds if that will offer a better experience on the day. We can also coordinate around your holiday itinerary – just let us know where you’re staying in Cornwall, and we’ll handle the planning to give you the smoothest schedule.

  • We arrange a dedicated professional surf photographer to join your session and capture epic photos of you and your group in action. Surf photography is an art, you can fully live in the moment while knowing every highlight is being caught on camera.

    Afterwards, you’ll receive a gallery of high-resolution digital photos. (No need to pay per photo – the session fee covers the photographer’s time and a set of images.) This is a popular option for families (so parents can be in the photos with the kids) and anyone who wants to take home lasting memories.

  • For the ultimate convenience, add our private chauffeur service. A vehicle will pick you up from your a chosen location at the start of the day and drive you directly to the chosen surf beach (and between beaches if doing a full day hitting multiple spots). After you’re done surfing, your driver will return you home or to your next destination. This means you don’t have to worry about directions, parking, or driving back tired after a surf – relax and travel in comfort.

    This is perfect for high-end travelers who expect door-to-door service, or if you plan to enjoy a few post-surf beers and prefer not to drive.
